R help - Jul 2007 - write.table linebreaks

Hello R users,

I am a newby using R  2.5.0 on a Apple Power Book G4 with Mac OS X  
10.4.10.

when I use the write.table function, I always get the output in Unix  
linebreaks that I have to change to McIntosh linebreaks to be able to  
Import the data in Excel 2004 for Mac.

Is there a possibility to do this automatically in R and respectively  
in the write.table function?

Thanks in advance.

Birgit

What do you think the 'eol' argument to write.table is for?

I don't have a Mac to hand, but eol='\r' does this on Linux and
Windows.
